The preacher’s in love with the sunshine schizophrenic, the range runner has a family of five with one more on the way, and the professor is a cerebral alcohol aficionado; as for Slab City’s unofficial sheriff, he shot and killed his step father at age six for raping his mother. The crazy thing about these wonderful people has nothing to do with their sanity (which is a slippery term to define), and everything to do with their intelligence, and enlightened views on life as a human being.
